Ruby on Rails Powers the Best Engineering Talent at Effectus
Ruby on Rails has solidified its place as a leading web development framework because of its simplicity, flexibility, and rapid development capabilities.
Its convention-over-configuration philosophy allows engineers to build scalable applications efficiently, making it ideal for startups and growing businesses.
Ruby on Rails & Effectus know-how
At Effectus Software, Ruby on Rails enables our expert engineers to deliver high-quality, custom solutions quickly, empowering our clients to scale without compromising on performance.
From a backend perspective, APIs are essential for building scalable and flexible applications, allowing different systems and services to communicate seamlessly.
Ruby on Rails, a robust and developer-friendly framework, enhances API development by offering powerful tools for rapid prototyping and streamlined code management.
Rails simplifies the creation of RESTful APIs, making it easy to structure data interactions and support CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations.
Its built-in libraries, such as Active Record for database management, contribute to efficient data handling and improved security.
Additionally, Rails’ emphasis on convention over configuration means that APIs can be developed quickly without sacrificing quality, allowing Effectus teams to focus on creating reliable and responsive backend systems that meet the demands of modern applications.
Two of the apps we’ve dug in are Donational and String & Key. In both cases we have decided to use Ruby on Rails as the go-to option to complete a thorough, clean and future-scalable product.
Donational
Donational is a platform for making donations built with Ruby on Rails. It allows people to generate a portfolio of donations to be made either one time or on a monthly basis.
It also targets students that want to donate once they graduate. The donations are made through credit cards by integrating the platform with Stripe.
Clients are from multiple parts of the world, so multi-currency is supported.
String & Key
It creates the technology that changes how we manage and protect our money.
As a product, they offer Wysh, a service for businesses to attract, retain and differentiate deposits. And for individuals you can secure your future with a life insurance.
As part of the process, we took and still take part in the product design with our top-notch designers and with our engineer team. Particularly when it comes to Ruby on Rails and React.js.
MVPs best collaborator
Ruby on Rails is often considered the best fit for building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) because of its emphasis on speed, simplicity, and flexibility. Here’s why:
- Rapid Development: Rails follows a convention-over-configuration approach, meaning it provides standard ways to do common tasks, which allows developers to build features faster with less setup. This makes it easier to launch an MVP quickly and gather user feedback sooner.
- Comprehensive Toolset: Rails comes with built-in libraries and tools for handling common web application needs—such as database interactions, form handling, and authentication—reducing the need for third-party plugins. This all-in-one approach minimizes development time, which is ideal for MVPs where efficiency is crucial.
- Flexibility for Iteration: As an MVP evolves based on user feedback, Rails’ flexible architecture and modular design make it relatively easy to adapt, add, or refine features. This adaptability is key for startups that need to iterate fast without needing extensive refactoring.
- Community and Resources: Rails has a large, supportive community with many open-source libraries (gems) that allow teams to add new features without reinventing the wheel. This vast ecosystem provides access to well-tested tools that can quickly meet common MVP requirements.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Faster development and access to open-source resources mean lower initial development costs, which is often essential when building an MVP on a tight budget.
These factors make Ruby on Rails an efficient, versatile, and cost-effective choice for MVP development, allowing teams to focus on validating their ideas and responding quickly to market needs.
